Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

The University at Albany’s men’s lacrosse program has had a strong Yorktown connection for the last 12 years.

That’s the length of time former Husker star Scott Marr has been the Great Danes’ head coach.

During that time, Marr, the older brother of Yorktown varsity coach Dave Marr, has been able to successfully recruit some talented Yorktown players. Currently, 2008 graduate Rocky Bonitatibus is a junior midfielder. Next season, current Husker Tyler Fahey, will also be a Great Dane.

A 6-foot-2, 210-pound defenseman, Fahey, who is also a football standout, has good size and athleticism.

Here’s a Q&A with Tyler on his commitment.
